Botanical Knits Has Arrived!

Just yesterday, a big truck pulled up outside of our office and dropped off 10 huge pallets of Botanical Knits books.

As I looked at the shipment in its entirety I was super excited of course, but honestly also a bit afraid.

"Uh oh.. what have I gotten myself into?"

I have never before ordered this quantity of books before, and the sheer amount of them was quite daunting.

Fortunately within a few hours, with the help of friends and family, we were able to fill up all of the spare corners of our office space and get the entire shipment inside.

Now is the fun part. I have been enjoying packaging up each little book and getting it ready to put in the mail to all of you who have pre-ordered. For each package I put together, I think about the knitter who will be receiving it. I hope that you all really enjoy it. :)

It's going to take us awhile to package up all of these orders, so I am going to extend the pre-order promotion a little while longer. Everyone who places their order through May 15th will receive the digital version of Botanical Knits along with the special pre-order extras.

I just ordered my hard copy of your book and was so surprised by the additional gift of the e-book. Happy Mother's Day to me. Thank you for a wonderful gift. Now I can start on your wonderful shawl that I saw at a wool fair in New Hampshire yesterday at the Ball and Skein booth. yippee.

That just warms my heart to read that you are thinking of the knitters that receive your books. I am so excited to get my copy, I have started Buds and Blooms and am enjoying the pattern. It is funny how Ravelry and blogs make designers much more real to the average knitting like myse and challenges us to knit beyond our present experience because we know there is a real person who would answer any questions if we got stuck! Hope that mountain of books moves out your door real quick.....I will be checking my mail box!

I am so excited, for hard copy. I love the book, the colors the attention to details, very estetically pleasing. Also easy to follow patterns. I'm on my second piece from the book. Go Alana Go!! you rock!

Received my book yesterday, it is so beautiful I can't stop looking at it. The colors the attention in every little detail just perfect. The patterns are beautiful in themselves the whole presentation is something to treasure. You did an absolutely beautiful book from cover to cover!

I just received my copy and oh my goodness it is beautiful! Unfortunately my postman crammed it into my mailbox instead of leaving it by the door so it's kind of bent out of shape. I have it resting between two law books to try to straighten it out. Thank you so much for your thoughtful extras! Those stickers are adorable and I am really excited about the beautiful ivy trellis hat.
